those were some formations that i was comfortable trading but as you say...market shows you new things each day..i don't know how to trade run away markets like these...so there is big gap in my knowledge which is making me fearful of taking any decisions
run away markets are very difficult for players like us. And on such days, we have to just wait and watch and remind ourselves that such scenario is just the rare 5% of the time when we are not in control of our emotions. Keep reminding yourself that,
when in doubt stay out. I stayed out yesterday whole day as i was not sure how to re enter a market which is running like crazy. The only trade i initiated with the expectation that last half hour will see a weekend effect and premium will come down. It got jacked real bad. ended with a m2m loss of 6 points.
Today morning i did some damage control. it clicked. But again a case of bad execution. straddle premium shot up to 245 at one stage. It is getting uncomfortable.
Took a OBR trade on nf..it clicked... and now again i'm siting idle. watching the bears get slaughtered.
I keep reminding myself, some days i gain money, some days i gain experience.
